What Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor Says About You

In July, we celebrate National Ice Cream Month. From Italian
Spumoni to Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, see what your favorite ice cream flavor says
about you.

Chocolate is for the young at heart who speak their mind
freely with enthusiasm and honesty. Creativity and talent are often the first
traits others notice about chocolate ice cream fans.

Just because you like Vanilla does not mean you are
ordinary. You are daring but calculating and experimental and you take risks
and set high goals for yourself.

Strawberry ice cream enthusiasts tend to be shy, cautious,
traditional and committed when in relationships. While you’re a good friend, it
may take a while to get close to someone.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is reserved for indulgent
party-animals. You do what you want to do – even if it interferes with work!

Butter Pecan lovers tend to be old-fashioned, hard-working
and detail oriented. So you are all about business, but know how to kick back
and relax.

With Spumoni or Neopolitan, it may be obvious but favoring
these ice cream flavors says you can be slightly indecisive. If you’re ever
unsure, always pick dessert first!

Chocolate Chip ice cream fans love fun, sports and
competition. You have a good sense of humor and are easy to laugh – and you’re
a complete extrovert. Some might say you’re the life of the party.

Which ice cream flavor are you? What other flavors do you
love? Don’t forget that National Ice
Cream Day is the July 21st.

The card is 4 1/4' x 6 1/2".Your next stop along the way of the calendar is Anita Thanks for stopping by and mark your calendar again next month to see what Holidays to Celebrate on August 10, 2013, for the next Calendar Girls Blog Hop!

About Me

I am the only sister of 4 children. I am the oldest. I had to learn to tease and take being teased out of self defense. I was a very seriuos child. I was born in KY. Ilived in GA 23 years. I have a cat named Mittens.

"Hello Everyone Welcome!"

I love to scrap and make cards. I also paint in oil, pastel, and watercolor. Art in some form has always been a part of my life since I was coloring in a coloring book and playing with play dough. Thanks to Mom we always had some kind of dough to play with, mostly homemade. My 3 brothers and I loved it! In the 5th grade I had a teacher who liked art and opened up crafts to me. Then at an action an oil painting kit was in a box of things my Dad wanted. Oh how I loved it! Talking about being happy! My first oil painting in the 8th grade with Mrs. Hughes was of a flamingo. Idid a Painted Bunting-bird in the 9th grade. My folks got a divorce then and I stopped drawing and painting. Divorces do hurt kids! I started babysitting when 16 years old and started drawing and doing crafts with the children I kept. it brought me great joy. I met a wonderful man in 1995 and married him in 1996. He encouraged me to take painting lessons. Thanks Lloyd for a wonderful gift. In 1999 my husband died. I still miss him. I started scrapbooking and card making in 2003. I have learned a lot but know there is much, much more out there to learn. every day I learn something new. Thanks to all who have taught me along the way wether you know it or not. Edwina Brown
